  • Top-Tier Aesthetics: The rich, dark acacia wood makes any pizza look instantly more appealing.
  • High Maintenance: Requires regular oiling to prevent drying and  maintain its handsome finish.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Dough & Co.', a popular pizzeria in Cardiff, were looking for a way to upgrade their presentation from standard metal trays to something more photogenic and  aligned with their rustic brand.

"These boards were exactly what we needed. Our pizzas look incredible on them and  customers are always taking photos. They’ve really helped boost our presence on Instagram and  a few local food bloggers have even commented on how great our presentation is."

Samuel Jones – Owner

Since introducing the Olympia boards, the pizzeria has seen a 30% increase in customer photo tags on their social media channels, providing valuable free marketing.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting It Ready

  • Before its first outing, give the board a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil to all surfaces – this is called 'seasoning' the wood.
  • Let the oil soak in for a few hours or, ideally, overnight.
  • Wipe away any excess oil with a dry cloth, and  it's ready for service!

Keeping It Perfect

  • Never, ever put your wooden board in a dishwasher or submerge it in the sink.
  • After use, simply wipe it clean with a damp, soapy cloth and  dry it immediately.
  • Re-apply a coat of oil every few weeks (or whenever it looks a bit pale or dry) to keep it protected.
  • Use the leather tag to hang the board for storage. This allows air to circulate and  prevents warping.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Board

Feeling a bit stuck on what board is best for your setup? Let’s break it down.

Size and  Shape

Think about what you'll serve most. This 14" round acacia pizza board is a classic, but would a rectangular board be better for platters? Make sure it fits your pizzas, tables, and  storage space.

Material Matters

Acacia is a star for presentation with its deep colour. Other woods like olive or bamboo offer different looks. For pure function in the kitchen (like a prep board), you might prefer a hard-wearing plastic board.

Handle It

A board with a handle, like this one, is much easier and  safer for staff to carry from a hot kitchen to a busy restaurant floor. A paddle design is a classic for a reason.

Front or Back of House?

Is this for show or for go? This board is a front-of-house champion for serving. For launching pizzas into a deck oven, you’ll need a metal or wooden 'peel', which is a different tool altogether.

Consider the Upkeep

Wooden boards need a little TLC (hand-washing, regular oiling). If your team is stretched thin, a dishwasher-safe metal tray might be more practical, but you'll lose the aesthetic charm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I put this board in the dishwasher?

A: Absolutely not. This board is strictly hand-wash only to prevent it from warping, cracking, or losing its finish. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it needs.

Q: What sort of oil should I use to maintain it?

A: Any food-safe mineral oil is perfect. You can find it easily online or in hardware shops. Avoid using cooking oils like olive or vegetable oil, as they can go rancid over time.

Q: Can I chop and  slice pizza directly on the board?

A: You can, but be aware that using a sharp pizza cutter or knife will likely leave score marks on the wood's surface over time. This adds to a rustic, used look for some, but it's good to know.

Q: How heavy is it to carry?

A: It weighs just under a kilogram (0.96kg). It's got a reassuring heft that feels quality, but it's not too heavy for staff to carry comfortably during a busy shift.

Q: Is the handle sturdy?

A: Yes, very. The board is made from a single piece of wood, meaning the handle is an integral part of the board itself, not a separate piece that's been attached. This makes it incredibly strong.

Q: What is the purpose of the leather tag?

A: It's primarily for storage. Hanging the board by the tag allows air to circulate around it freely, ensuring it dries evenly and  reducing the risk of the wood warping.

Q: Will the rich brown colour fade?

A: Not if you look after it! Regularly oiling the board will nourish the wood and  keep that beautiful, deep acacia colour looking rich and  vibrant for years.

Q: What is the actual serving diameter?

A: The board has a full diameter of 355mm, which is 14 inches. It's a great size for a large pizza or a substantial sharing platter.

Why One-Piece Construction Really Matters

You might see 'one-piece construction' and  just nod along, but it’s a seriously important feature for any bit of kit in a busy kitchen. Many wooden boards are actually several smaller pieces of wood glued together to make a larger board. While this is cheaper to make, it creates weak points along the glue seams.

Think of it like this: a one-piece board is like a solid slab of stone, whereas a glued board is like a tiled floor. Over time, with constant use and  washing, moisture can get into the tiny gaps between the 'tiles', causing them to warp, separate, or even split. Those seams also become a potential trap for food particles and  bacteria, making them harder to clean hygienically. The Olympia GM262 is carved from a single, solid piece of acacia. That means no seams, no weak spots, and  nowhere for germs to hide. It's simply stronger, safer, and  built to last much longer.
